My mother hated to iron and when we didn't have an ironing lady, I was the ironing lady. I had four older brothers and every Saturday morning, I ironed their jeans. <br />Life in the south during the sixties makes for good writing material. Sadly, some of it is not considered "politically correct" in today's world, but the truth is still the truth.Glenda Council Beallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778241689968750316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427303902639298441.post-19983640361492723032009-05-26T10:33:34.436-04:002009-05-26T10:33:34.436-04:00You know I'm always looking for books to read, so ...You know I'm always looking for books to read, so I'll add this one to my list.

I had Sandy for Senior English thirty years ago and we have recently struck up a friendship by reconnecting on Facebook. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog, and I look forward to future posts. I, too, am an avid reader and have recently embraced the world of ebooks, having received a Kindle 2 for Mother's Day. Thank you so much for enriching my day!Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820332632009714358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427303902639298441.post-22101145087872536482009-05-20T19:30:36.868-04:002009-05-20T19:30:36.868-04:00Thanks for visiting my blog, Nancy!

It's set in the Civil War South, and the main character is a plantation slave who tries to solve the murder of a close friend. It's an interesting blend of historical fiction and mystery with strong characterizations and sense of place.Bruce Niedthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974369288649730186noreply@blogger.com
